Just thought I'd fix that for ya.Valkhorn said:Creationism - comes in thousands of forms, each one different
Evolution - a unified theory which has been fine-tuned to fit evidence
Creationism - followers prepared to die for the belief
Evolution - is not a belief. It is a scientific theory.
Creationism - messaging spreading to all parts of the world in terms of word of mouth and gossip
Evolution - message spreading to all parts of the world in terms of application, useability, and even being able to find petroleum
Creationism - nothing is predicted with creation
Evolution - there have been ample predictions which have been shown to be correct
Creationism - hypothesis changes based on interpretation of any myth
Evolution - theory changes as evidence surfaces, allowing for correction
Ok, so Creationism is losing, for the moment. But let's make this a fair fight!
Evolution - An author (Darwin et al.), who was a scientist. Plus the Theory exists with or without the author as does the evidence.
Creationism - Moses wrote Genesis apparently
Evolution - is not a belief
Creationism - life-long commitment to belief IN SPITE OF CONTRARY EVIDENCE
Evolution - changes based on facts to better support them
Creationism - total commitment to religion (because they say so)
Evolution - changing from finding to finding
Creationism - constant from the first finding (You just said it changed. Is lying ok with your religious belief?)
Evolution - including Theistic Evolutionists? How mean-spirited
Creationism - so it doesn't save people from Hell? What's the point then?

Just witness to your truth and split for another forum and do it there. repeat as needed for self aggrandizement.
Is this Poe's Law or a Freudian Slip?Gottservant said:I have the courtesy to read your replies, I'm just not arguing the points - if you haven't understood the jest there's no point to it.

That's the gist of the jest.joey444 said:Calling Freud a devil because you don't understand his work?
Words fail me, gentlemen.Alright, look! I admit my understanding of Evolution is as limited as stating that it is about "survival of the fittest". That neatly states everything I needed to know in order to write the first post. Clearly for some of you, that is not enough, but need I remind you that you downloaded the post. I did not send, SPAM style, the post to you.
Which is already wrong, or at best extremely inaccurate.Gottservant said:Alright, look! I admit my understanding of Evolution is as limited as stating that it is about "survival of the fittest".
Yes, I can write a lot of junk too if I don't know what I'm talking about.That neatly states everything I needed to know in order to write the first post.
But you also are, apparantly, not willing to learn from errors pointed out to you. And that is what people are railing against here. Not that you posted this, but that you are unwilling to discuss what you posted and learn why it is extremely incorrect.Clearly for some of you, that is not enough, but need I remind you that you downloaded the post. I did not send, SPAM style, the post to you.
What a strange way of viewing the theory of evolution.Also, I would like to admit that I like the evolution theory for a number of reasons. One, it is about positive change (survival is positive). Two, it emphasizes the importance of belief and learning (if you didn't believe evolution you wouldn't discuss it, if you didn't learn you wouldn't gain what is positive). Three, it helps you to realize that it is ok to simply disagree about certain things - there's no telling that somebody or something won't survive.
It is valuable to consider theories that are in line with the evidence. Only those will ever help people. The rest is just empty babling.I think it is valuable to consider theories that can help people.
Which has nothing to do with evolution. Many christians are also evolutionists.Regardless of what they have known, my brothers and sisters in Christ have travelled the world - even to unchartered territory - in order to clothe people, feed people, heal people, even bring them to life.
So, does the theory of gravity help us to do that better? General relativity maybe? Atomic theory? The objective of a theory is to better describe the observations, nothing more, nothing less. That is science. How we act with that is not science.If a theory could help us do that better, then that would be great!
que?Evolution - "survival of the fittest" - helps to explain why we help people who aren't fit and why we reject in our body (of people) things that are not fit. It even helps to explain why we joke about believing in our Creator making us fitter!
It's that time again, I'm glad I didn't drink anything while reading this, because else my computer would have broken. You must be a parody, you're so funny!Gottservant said:Freud was a demon and went to Hell - nothing he said made sense spiritually. I have attempted to analyze my statement for potential quips... not slips, but haven't been able find any. The jest is that I do not need to be fit having accepted Jesus Christ as Lord, but I have carried on as if it is important.
No, it is judging a way of thinking on it's merits.Poe's Law is interesting, I had to look it up. As far as I can tell , it only applies in as much as someone is prepared to judge someone else on the basis of what they write before they have met them. Smilies aleviate the problem of having to talk English, but is that the best solution, I wonder ?
